Current Openings
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) is looking to host a post-graduate fellow to join our policy team, funded (in whole or in-part) by their law school or a third party organization. The policy fellowship position offers recent law school graduates an opportunity to work with CREW on developing our long-term policy agenda to change laws, rules, and enforcement to uphold the rule of law, protect our democratic institutions, and ensure accountability for abuses of power. Responsibilities include monitoring legislative developments, analyzing and providing technical advice on legislative proposals, drafting congressional letters and statements for the records, and assisting in the preparation of reports and other written products. If a fellow is interested in or is required to develop a specific project proposal as part of their funding, we welcome having those discussions. Interested applicants must be recent law school graduates and must possess strong writing and analytical skills. The position is based in Washington, D.C. and will be hybrid with fellows splitting their time between working at home and working in the office.

Please include “Policy Fellow” and your last name along with the year you’d like to be considered for in the subject line (e.g. Policy Fellow 2024 Smith).

No phone calls, please. We are only able to respond to candidates we are contacting for an interview. CREW is an equal opportunity employer who values diversity in our workplace and in our work.
